GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Amazon CEO wants his staff back in the office full time • The Register26·10 months agoThey are retaining staff by paying more than most other companies, but they also have a reputation for running their workers into the ground by overworking them. Many burn out pretty quickly.

GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs3·2 years ago100 years from now? This guy is delusional.
where do you get the money to support such a large population?
AI supporters would tell you that productivity improvements made with AI tech will make that possible.
Yet, unemployment in most of the western world is very low. That could change, of course. We’ll likely need universal basic income down the road. Or at least some very enhanced unemployment benefits.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit2·2 years agoStarbucks disputed the allegations and told Fortune that customers can pay for their orders with whatever balance is left on their app or gift card and pay the remaining amount in cash at the store, thus reaching a zero balance.
So, this is not true? What’s the actual truth to this functionality?
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Tech Billionaires Launch Fund to Create New Libertarian Societies12·2 years agoNo society should accept billionaires. There are so many other people who are in dire need. It makes zero difference if they have a billion or a 100 million.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Reno became known as the “Divorce Capital of the World.”English23·2 years agomore liberal grounds for divorce meant that instead of getting a divorce in your actual home state, it could be much easier to become a temporary Nevada resident, secure a divorce, and then return to home. This of course made a lot of conservative politicians and social leaders in other states furious. They hated that residents could circumnavigate their own state laws and they tried to bar the legality of a Nevada-acquired divorce
Hmm. Where have I heard something similar lately…?

GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Amazon starting to track and penalize workers who work from home too much7·2 years agoI hear ya. The problem with moving to a cheaper location with a remote job is that, if you lose that job, you’ll probably have to move again because there may not be any other jobs in that location other than another remote job.
Especially risky if you buy your home and will have to sell quickly.
GiddyGap@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Amazon starting to track and penalize workers who work from home too much27·2 years agoTo me, the biggest positive about remote work is that you don’t have to live in a crazy expensive location. That advantage is mostly gone with hybrid where you still have to come in every week.
Also, companies benefit from having employees in less expensive locales having lower salaries but still being able to pay more than what the employee would otherwise make in that location. Good way to retain talent.
Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.
